I have a 17GB PST file which seems to be corrupt, I repaired my PST with ScanPST.exe but did not get all my data. Please give suggestion how can I repair my PST file its very important for me.

The recommended method to repair the corrupt PST file is ScanPST.exe. I suggest you to try to repair you PST multiple times with Microsoft inbuilt utility.
However, In case you PST file is severely corrupt then may be ScanPST.exe fails to work. In this case you can take help of Third party tool like Stellar Phoenix Outlook PST repair.

Whenever an Outlook user faces corruption, he/she must use the Inbox Repair tool. It's a built-in repair tool, commonly known as the scanpst.exe utility, provided by Microsoft to scan corrupt PST file for errors. It can fix the header corruption issues within the PST file and rebuild the file structure. To know more about the scanpst.exe utility and how to use it, refer to this article - How to Recover Outlook Mailbox from Corrupt PST?

In a case of severe corruption, the scanpst.exe utility may not work. In such a situation, you should use a professional recovery tool.

Hello,
As expert has already suggested, ScanPST.exe cannot help when PST files are severely corrupted. And the size of the PST file is so huge. Clearly, Inbox Repair tool is not the best solution here. This inbuilt utility preferred when there are only few PST files with minor damages. 

In this situation, it is better to choose SysTools application, which can efficiently repair severely damaged PST file (https://www.systoolsgroup.com/outlook-recovery.html) without any data loss. The product suggested here can easily recover damaged and deleted PST files effortlessly. 

Hope this will help resolve the issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Mack John

As PST is easily prone to corruption and this happened to me as well. On the verge of repairing, I tried Scan PST but it kept on freezing in the mid of the process. You can still try another manual method (https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/repair-outlook-2019-2016-2010-pst-file/) as well.

I tried the highly recommended tools from the Microsoft MVPs and ended up buying Stellar Repair for Outlook (https://www.stellarinfo.com/outlook-pst-file-recovery.php). So it went like when I started my search mostly I can see various tools list and tried their free versions. For some, I was facing the interface issue, or the lengthy scanning process, frequent crashes, hanging issues, and many more.

When I tried this PST repair (https://www.stellarinfo.com/outlook-pst-file-recovery.php) tool, it automatically located PST, and in the scanning & repairing process the overall data was repaired and was in a format like my data was the same as before the corruption. I can see not a single file has vanished. It allowed me to save the emails in multiple formats as per my requirement and the user interface was highly interactive and offers me to perform various tasks as well like splitting, merging, recovering the PST file.

For repairing no technical experience was required and I got everything back at the drop of a hat.
